End of the Year FUN!
It's almost that time, the end is near. Shhhh, don't tell the kids we need them focused! Many of you have reached out asking about field trips and end of the year activities, and while we don't have all of the details ironed out yet (we are still focused on instruction and STAAR), we wanted to give you tentative dates and information.
Monday 5/23 - Staycation (in-school field trip): While we would have loved to go on a field trip this year the options were very limited, as many places have not opened to field trip groups, or they were simply too expensive. We will have more details to come, just know we are working hard to make this a fun day for our kids.
Tuesday 5/24 - Field Day: Watch for the ROE newsletter for more details and volunteer opportunities.
Wednesday 5/25 - Aloha Day : Students may wear school appropriate vacation attire.

Thursday 5/26 - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!! -
- 5th Grade Walk - Parents are welcome come and line up outside of the school along the playground fence. Students will walk the halls right after the Seniors the walk will finish outside with a parade past the parents and photos in front of the ROE sign.
- Class breakfast parties start at 9:15 am. 5th grade parties may begin a little later as we will be taking pictures after the 5th grade walk.
